So the broken back leaving me immobile has lit a new fire to spend more time at the gym. I go to phys therapy 2 days a week and now at least 2 nights a week I go to the gym. PT is mostly core and back stabilization and the gym I use to try to build and maintain muscles in my legs and arms.

Which is sometimes hard to do due to the whole fatigue thing. But I find myself easily motivated to hit the gym because every time I think about how I am tired and don't wanna go the PPSM statistics pop into my head. I try to be optimistic with this disease but it doesn't change the fact that I am going to do everything within my power to stay as mobile as possible.

So my arms have gained half an inch and my thighs have gotten smaller while my calves are growing. On the plus side I have lost 8 pounds.

Just wish I had the balance to get on the treadmill. This is my new goal.
